To Facebook or not to Facebook

logo

Some people keep on asking me why I don’t log in my Facebook account. I don’t want to sound bias but I’m more of a Twitter addict than a Facebook fan. You see, in a span of 6 months, I managed to tweet almost 4,400 updates (Yay me!). With the growing number of Facebook users, it already feels ‘crowded’ just by looking at the number of people adding you as their “friend”. And sometimes, people you don’t even know whose name is Pahk Lan Tei (sorry, just made that up) wants to add you as her friend.

Social networking used to be fun, actually…until the whole world flocked on Facebook. Seriously, with more than 500 friends on your account, how do you interact with all of them?! I even see others with more than a thousand friends. Where in the world did you meet all of these people? For the life of me, I don’t know how you managed to add 4,231 people in your account. Well, unless you’re in politics or planning to run as mayor of your small town, so go for it! Err, why not make a fan page instead? LOL.

Here are a few reasons why I don’t do Facebook:

  1. For me, Facebook-ing is not fun anymore.
  2. NO, I don’t like to accept friend requests from people I DON’T KNOW at all!
  3. NO, I don’t like to get updates from people I DISLIKE. Well okay, there are some “friend” requests that I approved just because I am forced to or maybe because I don’t want to hear that person say that I have such a big head or a snob :p Hey, I can be polite and nice, you know ;) With the number of people I have on my list, you’ll never know who they are. (evil laugh)
  4. I don’t want to be updated on the lives of people I barely know and ask myself, “Who the hell is this?” And I get stuck ogling at the person’s photo, only to realize that the person used to be a guy. LOL. And that he happens to be that lanky neighbor of my cousin’s classmate in grade school. Gaaahh!
  5. I don’t play mini-flash games. And from what I heard, these games are just a waste of time and can possibly turn me into one of those characters from Plants vs. Zombies.
  6. Facebook-ing makes me inefficient and incompetent, leaving me a boatload of work to do.
  7. Even though there is a Facebook app available at Blackberry App world, I did not install it on my phone. Uh-okay, I did once but I took it out after some time because I seldom use it!

With twitter, you can follow me and get updates from me without me following you or vice versa. Well, I normally follow those who followed me, except for spammers and bots.

So, I hope my Facebook friends understand why I will never ever be a Facebook fanatic.

I heart my tweeps!

Blackberry Torch

logo

One of the hottest units that come from the Blackberry brand is the Blackberry Torch 9800. RIM and AT&T recently introduced the Blackberry Torch as the latest addition in the wide ranging smart phones.

The Blackberry Torch runs with the Blackberry OS 6 that already caused rave reviews and remarks from people anticipating the unveiling of this newest handset from Blackberry. Some of the preview videos of the Blackberry OS 6 which I viewed online are intriguing enough to entice consumers’ attention. However, the Blackberry Torch has its own set of advantages and disadvantages that a prospective buyer must know. It is essential to know the perks as well as the drawbacks of the Blackberry Torch. This is for the purpose of knowing if the phone is worth your money and if it offers all of the services that you are looking for.

I gotta admit I’m all SMILES right now. Why? Because my pair of chucks arrived! I’m more of a stiletto/ballet shoes type of person but this… I will definitely wear! It would go perfect with a pair of jeans and a white shirt! Sending out all my love and thanks to Ranch Rush 2 and Fresh Games! Special shout out to Vicki Dixon of Fresh Games. Thank you Vicki!

So, how did I win this awesome pair of chucks? Read here!

Hello August!

logo

I started August with a bang, oh yes I did! Finally, i have my Photoblog now and it makes me happy that people appreciate my photos! *giddy* Thank you guys!

As I have said I am not a professional photographer and I can’t even pass as an amateur. My photo blog is just me taking memories of something that could paint a smile on my face, something that I think is awesome, something  that makes me happy and  wonder and moments worth keeping. I would love to take photography classes someday but for now, I guess I should just follow my “artsy instincts.” Quoting Lurchie: “The camera is just a tool. You are the one taking the pictures.”

For more inspiring shots, visit Lurchie’s Photo Blog -  Creative Mittens! By the way, before I say adieu, here’s a snapshot of my photo blog.

Heaven Awaits You

A few days ago, I was just blogging about my cousin Mai giving birth to a premature baby boy. Sadly though, baby Jef Angelo passed away after 18 hours due to weak lungs.
